#FiveFilms4Freedom 2018: a global LGBTQ+ short-film celebration

The world’s widest-reaching LGBTQ+ digital campaign returns for a fourth edition from 21 March - 1 April 2018.

British Council in partnership with BFI Flare: London LGBTQ+ Film Festival are making five LGBTQ+ themed short films available for the world to watch online for free, over a 12-day period. You are able to watch all five films through this page.

The programme, which will feature work by emerging filmmakers from across the world, has been selected from and coincides with BFI Flare.

Last year, the films were viewed 1.8 million times by people in 202 countries and principalities, including parts of the world where homosexuality is criminalised, and in some cases, punishable by the death penalty.

Subtitles: you can watch the films with English, Arabic, Chinese, Russian and Latin American Spanish subtitles. Click the settings button on the video player and then 'Subtitles/CC' to select the language of your choice. To turn all subtitles off click 'CC' on the player.
